creating / recording audio files with PHP?

Post by michlcamp »

MSN and Yahoo "messengers" have a feature I'd like to duplicate with PHP...
I'm thinking this would be an 'across-the-web' tool between me and my staff, not something on a public site. Sound files would have to be limited to 3mb or below, or 20-30 secs, whatever's easiest to do.

I want to create sound files (.wav in Windows' case - recorded) by specific people when they're visiting a web page, then save the sound file to the server, then automatically send a link to the file to another user or admin by email.

I know how to do the email/file link stuff, but don't know how to create the recorded sound file. I'm assuming in Windows you'd call the "Sound Recorder" into play, and of course, the person recording the sound file would have to have a mic, etc.

Any/All help/thoughts appreciated in advance!
Thanks,
mc

Won't work with PHP alone.... even if it did, every client would need PHP installed.

I think you need to look at using some Flash application such as Breeze.
